Victorinus interpreted Revelation in millennialist terms, a mode of interpretation already evident in works by Irenaeus, as well as in modest allegorical terms. Caes ..."
"The Eastern church gives little evidence of particular interest in the book of Revelation. Oecumenius of Isauria's commentary on the book is the earliest full treatment in Greek and dates only from the early sixth century. Along with Oecumenius's commentary, only that of Andrew of Caesarea (dating from the same era and often summarizing Oecumenius before offering a contrary opinion) and that of Arethas of Caesarea four centuries later p ..."
"The Revelation to John--with its vivid images and portraits of conflict leading up to the marriage supper of the Lamb, the cosmic destruction of evil, and the formation of a new heaven and a new earth--was widely read, even as it was variously interpreted in the early church.

In the two volumes of "The New Testament Age" forty-three scholars of international reputation h ..."

"Augustine: [That they encompassed the beloved city] obviously does not mean
that they gathered or will gather in some one place where, we must suppose, the
camp of the saints and the beloved city is to be. ... Let the one who reads take
note that in earlier material the Revelation has transmitted information about

originator of evil; the second is the b ..."
